Chuck Lever c92db2ca72 fat: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity
Report FAT's case sensitivity behavior via the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD
and FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags. FAT filesystems are
case-insensitive by default.

MSDOS supports a 'nocase' mount option that enables case-sensitive
behavior; check this option when reporting case sensitivity.

VFAT long filename entries preserve case; without VFAT, only
uppercased 8.3 short names are stored. MSDOS with 'nocase' also
preserves case since the name-formatting code skips upcasing when
'nocase' is set. Check both options when reporting case preservation.
